It's been known for a while that Nintendo's trying to do this
Wi-Fi thing right, and that they've got a pact with McDonald's (er, Wayport) to get
some free wireless play for the arrival of Mario Kart DS, but no one's heard anything about any specific
plans for a launch party.
That is, until now. Mario himself will be making an appearance with his costumed counterpart Ronald at
a McDonald's in downtown Chicago this Monday the 14th at 11 AM. The event
will feature the extremely recognizable duo "'flipping the switch' to turn on the service" as it were.
No word yet on kiosks to sell Kart-ridges to the DS-owning public that will inevitably show up on a school
day. So no desert launch party then?
